The pages in this area are devoted to E. Hoffmann Price. Price got his start in the pulps in 1924 when he sold his first story to Droll Stories. Through the early 1930's his primary market was Weird Tales, but then he broke out into the detective pulps.

Price's largest market was with the "Spicy" pulps. He wrote well over 150 stories for these pulps from the mid 30's through the mid 40's.

Most of Price's stories featured a good dose of eastern philosophy. The only exception to this seemed to be his westerns, but even this is not a hard, fast rule.

During World War II, Price contributed war stories to adventure magazines such as Argosy, Adventure, and Short Stories, as well as a hand full of others. In at least one instance, the editors of Adventure were surprised at how closely some of Price's fiction paralleled what was to soon happen in WW II.

After the collapse of the pulp market in the late 1950's, Price wrote columns on astrology for newspapers in San Francisco. This seems to have been his primary source of income for the next 20 years.

In the late 1970's he began writing novels. The first was Grubstake, a western which was revised and expanded from the short story of the same title and published by Zebra books. He also published two fantasy novels, The Devil-Wives of Li Fong and The Jade Enchantress, and a four volume science fiction series. These books were all published by Del Rey.

Price also liked to write about his fellow pulpsters. He published many articles about them in fanzines, as well as articles about what it was like to write for the pulp magazines.
